Aura Cacia 100% Pure Essential Oil Vetiver Description
Grounding
Aroma: Earthy
Origin: Haiti/India/Indonesia
Vetiver’s aroma is sweet, heavy and fragrant, like moist soil. Its earthy, peaceful oil evokes a sense of connectivity and quiet, which is why it is widely used in colognes, perfumes and personal care products for men and women.
Aromatically, vetiver has powerful, fixative properties. When blended with other oils, it unites a collective aroma, making a scent last longer and smell more consistent throughout evaporation.
Vetiver anchors any grounding essential oil experience, making it desirable for use after work or school, and especially in diffusions before bedtime.
Vetiver blends well with many other essential oils, including sandalwood, lavender, lavandin, jasmine, geranium, rose, patchouli, clary sage, ylang ylang, melissa (lemon balm), cassia, and bergamot. Vetiver essential oil is generally considered a base note.
Aura Cacia® was founded over 40 years ago on pure essential oils and true aromatherapy benefits. We partner with suppliers to source high quality botanicals and rigorously test every batch to ensure purity. We then provide premium products with consumer safety at the forefront. And importantly, Aura Cacia is part of a member owned co-op that puts people and planet ahead of profits.

DIY Citrus-Vetiver Cologne for Dad
Treat the adventurous men in your life to something totally unexpected this Father’s Day—a handmade gift with a super personal touch. This sumptuous cologne, made from true botanicals, is insanely easy to make. Just combine the ingredients in a spray bottle, or empty cologne bottle (reduce, reuse, recycle!) and shake. That’s all there is to it!
With a citrusy top note, floral middles notes and a woodsy base, this unique recipe makes a great summertime mist with a rugged edge (Note: the aroma subtly changes over time). Using more oils traditionally recognized as “feminine,” in men’s cologne has been trending for a few years, so don't let the rose in this blend deter you!
Your guy(s) will love this pleasant, bright lemon and earthy vetiver fragrance—and you might like it so much you’ll want to sneak a spritz yourself (and we encourage you to do so)! To make it more personal, give the scent its own name (we like: Take a Walk on the Wild Side), write it on a gift tag and tie it on with some hemp string.
Ingredients
20 drops Aura Cacia Lemon Essential Oil
17 drops Aura Cacia Rose Absolute Precious Essentials®
3 drops Aura Cacia Vetiver Essential Oil
Distilled water
2-oz. amber glass mist bottle
Directions
- In mist bottle, drop in essential oils.
- Add distilled water until bottle is full.
- Replace cap and shake bottle to blend.
- To use, apply in short sprays to pulse points: wrists, neck or inside elbows.
Additional tips:
- For less of a floral aroma, substitute 2 drops Aura Cacia Black Pepper Essential Oil for the 3 drops vetiver.
- This is a perfume oil and is intended to have a strong, lasting aroma. The number of drops reflects the aromatic effect, and this should be used as a perfume—in small amounts at a time—for safety purposes.
- Precious Essentials® are essential oils in a jojoba base. In this recipe, the number of drops is necessarily high for the rose aroma to come through, but it is not a dominant aroma in the blend.
